🇵🇭Mayon Volcano Pyroclastic Flow Triggers Mass Evacuation Mayon volcano in Albay province triggered a mass evacuation of over 300 families after lava deposits on its southwestern slope collapsed into a pyroclastic flow on Saturday, blanketing 87 villages across three towns in dense ashfall. No explosive eruption occurred — the event stemmed from cascading hot rocks, ash, and gas. No deaths or injuries were reported. Mayon has been in a state of mild, intermittent eruption since January. Philippine volcanology agency Phivolcs recorded 32 volcanic earthquakes over the weekend, including 25 tremors. Visibility dropped to zero on national roads, livestock were killed, and vegetable farms sustained damage across the affected towns. Phivolcs confirmed the volcano had stabilized by Monday but maintained that underlying hazard conditions persist. #Philippines @asianomics
